I look at this as yet another proof that much of (if not all of) what we think of as the downside of Windows computing is because of problems in the OS, not the hardware. I am looking forward to seeing OS X run rings around Windows on similarly equipped (actually comparing Apples to apples, so to speak!) computers.

Building the current Windows OS around their HTML rendering engine made Microsoft's codebase a bit smaller, but as a tradeoff they got the fact that you can crash the computer by just exceeding the boundaries of the rendering engine. Spaghetti code has obviously caused Windows indigestion!
